PRESIDENTIAL LECTURE SERIES PRESENTED BY SAMUEL L. STANLEY JR., MD

THE 21ST CENTURY CHALLENGE OF

THE LEGACY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Clarence B. Jones

Former Political Advisor, Counsel and Draft Speechwriter for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Wednesday, May 1, 2019 • 6:30 pm Student Activities Center Gelber Auditorium Free and open to the public • Seating is limited; doors open at 6 pm

Martin Luther King Jr. was the 20th century’s pre-eminent apostle of nonviolence and the pursuit of justice. From Dr. King’s beautifully illustrated philosophies in his 1963 Letter From A Birmingham Jail to the powerful “I Have A Dream” speech, Clarence B. Jones finds that 50 years later, the same challenges of racial segregation and unfair treatment are still posed for civil society today. In a distinguished career, Clarence B. Jones served as advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He later became the first African American partner in a Wall Street investment banking firm. He is currently a professor at the University of San Francisco and is also a Scholar Writer in Residence at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute.

and not walls, to be more inclusive without judgment, to respect the dignity of every human person, no matter what his or her social circumstance might be. Every day I am fortunate to see firsthand these miracles that make our world brighter and better. A few weeks ago, I was waiting at the railroad station in Port Jefferson for the train to New York City. I was on the platform closest to the street. At a distance, I saw an elderly woman slip and fall. Before I could respond I watched a teenager jump off his bike and run over to help her. He helped her up and he walked her to a bench. He sat next to her for a few minutes to make sure she was alright. She was able to get up and continue her walk. He got back on his bike, continued his journey, turned around and waved goodbye. So often we are in such a hurry we don’t see anyone around us, especially those that are crying out for our help. We miss those moments for random kindness and compassion for which our world is in desperate need. Spring is in the air; the flowers are blooming. For Christians around the world, we are in the midst of another new season of hope! Maybe it’s an opportunity for personal renewal, for a renewed focus on what’s really important, a focus that is centered more on people and not systems, more on loving and not hating, more on doing and not just being. The fire in Paris gave us a moment to see humanity at its best. Let’s keep it going! Fr. Pizzarelli, SMM, LCSW-R, ACSW, DCSW, is the director of Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson.

On Monday evening of Holy Week this year the world stopped in shock and watched the famous Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris burn.

PIZZARELLI For a brief moment people from around the world came together to express their solidarity with the people of Paris and all of France. For Catholics, it was a prayerful reminder that from ashes new life comes — and hope lives! Since the fire, I have thought a lot about the power of compassion and love that comes from people — ordinary men and women who make a difference every day. They go about their business not seeking the limelight or wanting anything in return for their kindness and compassion. The present world landscape, our own country’s landscape is wrought with division, hatred and volatility. Those who lead us have failed to challenge injustice, discrimination and violence. Our religious leaders too often are complicit by their silence to the complex social issues of our times. However, hope does live among us!

Early Detection Can Save Your Life

This week’s shelter pet is Eleanor, a 3-yearold domestic shorthaired pastel calico with beautiful green eyes. If she looks a little scared, it is because she doesn’t understand what has happened to her. Unfortunately, her human has passed on and no other person she knows was able to care for her. Now she’s safe at Kent Animal Shelter waiting for a new family (she likes other cats) and a fresh start. She comes spayed, microchipped and up to date on all her vaccines. Come and visit with her! She would love to meet you! Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road in Calverton. The adoption

Grab your light saber and alert your droids! Vanderbilt Museum to host special Star Wars event

BY DAVID LUCES

he Star Wars film series is well known for its depiction of the galaxy and space technology. For the many fans of the franchise, the Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium at the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport will give them the opportunity to journey back in time to explore the Star Wars galaxy once again as part of a special event, Worlds Far, Far Away, on Saturday, May 4 — also known as Star Wars Day. Lance Reinheimer, executive director of the museum, said the event will merge entertainment and education by showing participants that technology and planets shown in the films are not far from becoming a reality in the future. “The film series has been very popular, it’s something that spans generations,” Reinheimer said. “I remember myself going to the theater to see the first Star Wars film. Not only is this an educational event, but it is also a tribute to the film series and will be appealing to a lot of people,” he added. The evening will feature a Star Warsthemed lecture that will take the audience on a tour of the planets and famous locations seen throughout the franchise. After the presentation, guests will be divided into the light and dark sides of the Force and will compete during the event to win prizes by answering trivia questions. “Our purpose is to develop programs that will spark interest and bring people not only to the planetarium but the rest of the museum’s grounds as well,” the executive director said. Astronomy educators Matt Garber and Charlie Eder will be leading the lecture and act as

“droids” as they take the audience on a tour of the Star Wars galaxy. “We will be talking about the science behind the spaceships in the films as well as showing them important locations,” said Garber. Though it seems that technology shown in these films will be hard to attain, he said it may well be a possibility in the future. The astronomer said the event is timely as the franchise is widely popular and the teaser trailer for the next film, “Episode 9: Rise of Skywalker,” was recently released. Ultimately he hopes they can get the younger crowd in the audience interested in astronomy. “It would be great to capitalize on that — when you’re younger you sometimes dream about going into space.” Reinheimer agreed, adding that everyone remembers their first visit to a planetarium and he hopes the upcoming event will renew their interest. The executive director said as time goes by, the Vanderbilt estate, which was built in the 1940s, has become more important. He also said the planetarium holds a special place in space history as it was built in 1971, during the height of the space race with the Soviet Union. “We try to promote these events and get the word out that there is a true gem right in our backyard,” he said. Visitors are encouraged to come 30 minutes before each showtime to enjoy the activities in the decorated planetarium lobby. Guests are also encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Star Wars character. The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Reichert Planetarium, 180 Little Neck Road, Centerport will present Worlds Far, Far Away on Saturday, May 4 at 7, 8 and 9 p.m. Tickets are $25 per person at www.vanderbiltmuseum.org.

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH

David Dunaief, M.D. Integrative Medicine

• A Whole Body Approach • Reversing, Preventing & Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications Our Philosophy is simple. We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases. Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving. However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis. You are not limited by your genes. Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit. We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician. A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making. The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health. We treat each patient as an individual. We will work with you to develop a plan that allows you to take a proactive role in managing your own health. The health outcomes are worth the effort. Is disease reversal possible? Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications.

Defeat obesity and live longer

Obesity is continuously covered in the media. And rightly so. Its economic cost to the U.S. is massive: in 2016, the cost of chronic diseases for which being obese or overweight is a risk factor totaled over $480 billion in direct health care costs and $1.24 trillion in lost economic By David productivity (1). These Dunaief, M.D. startling numbers don’t even consider the human cost of these diseases.

Obesity and its effect on life span

It’s well-known that obesity could have an impact on development of other chronic diseases and decrease quality of life, but to what extent? A 2013 study indicated that almost as many as one in ﬁve deaths in the U.S. is associated with obesity (2). In a computer modeling study, results showed that those who are obese may lose up to eight years, almost a decade, of their life span (3). But that is only part of the picture. The other, more compelling result is that patients who are very obese, deﬁned as a BMI >35 kg/m², could lose almost two decades of healthy living. According to the researchers, this means you may have diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, even those patients who were obese and those who were overweight could have reductions in life span, up to six years and three years, respectively. This study evaluated 3,992 adults between the ages of 20 and 79. The data was taken from an NHANES database from 2003 to 2010, which looked at participants who went on to develop diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Though this is not a clinical trial, and there is a need for more study, the results are eye-opening, with the youngest and very obese negatively impacted the most.

Cancer impact

Since it is very difficult to “cure” cancer, it is important to reduce modifiable risk factors. Obesity may be one of these contributing factors, although it is hotly debatable how much of an impact obesity has on cancer development. The American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO), in a position paper, supported the idea that it is important to treat obesity in the fight against cancer (4). The authors indicate obesity may make the prognosis worse, may hinder the delivery of therapies to treat cancer, and may increase the risk of malignancy. Also, possibly reinforcing ASCO’s stance, a study suggested that upward of a half-million cases of cancer worldwide were related to being

Possible solutions

A potential counterweight to both the reductions in life quality and life expectancy may be a Mediterranean-type diet. In a published analysis of the Nurses’ Health Study, results show that the Mediterranean diet helped slow shortening of the telomeres (6).

The Story of Nathan Hale, Benjamin Tallmadge director & theCathy OriginCutler, of The Culper Spiesof the Medical Iso-

tope Research & Production program at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, was honored for her scientific accomplishments at Town of Brookhaven’s 33rd annual Women’s Recognition Night, held on March 21 at Town Hall in Farmingville. The Shirley resident was among 13 women honored for their contributions to a variety of fields at a public ceremony that celebrated the significant achievements of local women during Women’s History Month. At BNL, Cutler and her team collaborate on research with radiopharmaceuticals for cancer therapy, and they make radioisotopes required for this research as well. These radioisotopes would otherwise not be available but are, thanks to the high-energy Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP) that is part of the extensive particle accelerator infrastructure for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider — a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility for fundamental nuclear physics research located at Brookhaven. Radiopharmaceuticals are vital for “noninvasive,” personalized cancer treatments that provide patients with high-impact doses to combat tumors without damaging nearby healthy cells. With more than 20 years’ experience developing and evaluating radiopharmaceuticals, Cutler is helping lead their development for “theranostics” that combine medical therapies with diagnostic medical tests.

“I am honored to receive this award from the Town of Brookhaven,” said Cutler, who acknowledged the contributions of her colleagues in the success of her research and the isotope program at BNL. “Brookhaven Lab is one of just a few facilities in the DOE complex that can produce certain critical medical isotopes. We are hopeful that this research will lead to improved treatment options for cancer patients.” “The Town of Brookhaven is pleased to recognize Cathy Cutler for her achievements as an outstanding scientist, leader, and role model for those aspiring to careers in science, technology, and engineering,” said Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R). Cutler joined BNL in 2015 after earning a doctorate in inorganic chemistry from the University of Cincinnati and spending nearly 17 years at the University of Missouri Research Reactor Center. She serves as a mentor to young scientists, has received numerous awards and holds several patents. In addition to her role at the lab, Cutler has served as chair of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging’s committee on radiopharmaceuticals. She is a board member for the society’s Therapy Center of Excellence and Center for Molecular Imaging Innovation and Translation and an executive board member for the Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

CSHL’s Megan Crow tackles a neuroscience ‘holy grail’

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

Diversity has become a buzz word in the workplace, as companies look to bring different perspectives that might represent customers, constituents or business partners. The same holds true for the human brain, which contains a wide assortment of interneurons that have numerous shapes and functions. Interneurons act like a negative signal or a brake, slowing or stopping the transmission. Like a negative sign in math, though, some interneurons put the brakes on other neurons, performing a double negative role of disinhibiting. These cells of the nervous system, which are in places including the brain, spinal chord and retina, allow for the orderly and coordinated ﬂow of signals. One of the challenges in the study of these important cells is that scientists can’t agree on the number of types of interneurons. “In classifying interneurons, everyone argues about them,” said Megan Crow, a postdoctoral researcher in Jesse Gillis’ lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. “People come to this question with many different techniques, whether they are looking at the shape or the connectivity or the electrophysiological properties.” Crow recently received a twoyear grant from the National Institutes of Health to try to measure and explain the diversity of interneurons that, down the road, could have implications for neurological diseases or disorders in which an excitatory stimulus lasts too long.

‘The sensory neurons in pain sparked my general interest in how neurons work and what makes them into what they are.’ — Megan Crow “Understanding interneuron diversity is one of the holy grails of neuroscience,” explained Gillis in an email. “It is central to the broader mission of understanding the neural circuits which underlie all behavior.” Crow plans to use molecular classiﬁcations to understand these subtypes of neurons. Her “spe-

cific vision” involves exploiting “expected relationships between genes and across data modalities in a biologically thoughtful way,” said Gillis. Crow’s earlier research suggests there are 11 subtypes in the mouse brain, but the exact number is a “work in progress,” she said. Her work studying the interneurons of the neocortex has been “some of the most influential work in our field in the last two to three years,” said Shreejoy Tripathy, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. Tripathy hasn’t collaborated with Crow but has been aware of her work for several years. The interactivity of a neuron is akin to personalities people demonstrate when they are in a social setting. The goal of a neuronal circuit is to take an input and turn it into an output. Interneurons are at the center of this circuit, and their

3 “personalities” affect the way they inﬂuence information ﬂow, Crow suggested. “If you think of a neuron as a person, there are main personality characteristics,” she explained. Some neurons are the equivalent of extraverted, which suggests that they have a lot of adhesion proteins that will make connections with other cells. “The way neurons speak to one another is important in determining” their classes or types, she said. A major advance that enabled this analysis springs from new technology, including single-cell RNA sequencing, which allows scientists to make thousands of measurements from thousands of cells, all at the same time. “What I specialize in and what gives us a big leg up is that we can compare all of the outputs from all of the labs,” Crow said. She is no longer conducting her own research to produce data and, instead,

is putting together the enormous volume of information that comes out of labs around the world. Using data from other scientists does introduce an element of variability, but Crow believes she is more of a “lumper than a splitter,” although she would like to try to understand variation where it is statistically possible. She believes in using data for which she has rigorous quality control, adding, “If we know some research has been validated externally more rigorously than others, we might tend to trust those classiﬁcations with more conﬁdence.” Additionally she plans to collaborate with Josh Huang, the Charles Robertson professor of neuroscience at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, who she described as an interneuron expert and suggested she would use his expertise as a “sniff test” on certain experiments. At this point, Crow is in the process of collecting baseline data. Eventually, she recognizes that some interneurons might change in their role from one group to another, depending on the stimuli., Crow hasn’t always pursued a computational approach to research.

POWER OF 3 Continued from page B11 In her graduate work at King’s College London, she produced data and analyzed her own experiments, studying the sensory experience of pain. One of the challenges scientists are addressing is how pain becomes chronic, like an injury that never heals. The opioid crisis is a problem for numerous reasons, including that people are in chronic pain. Crow was interested in understanding the neurons involved in pain, and to figure out a way to treat it. “The sensory neurons in pain sparked my general interest in how neurons work and what makes them into what they are,” she said. Crow indicated that two things brought her to the pain field. For starters, she had a fantastic undergraduate mentor at McGill University, Professor of Psychology Jeff Mogil, who “brought the field to life for me by explaining its socio-economic impor-

As for computational biology, she said she focuses on interpreting data, rather than in other areas of the field, which include building models and simulations or developing algorithms and software. In the bigger picture, Crow said she’s still very interested in disease and would like to understand the role that interneurons and other cells play. “If we can get the tools to be able to target” some of the cells involved in diseases, “we might find away to treat those conditions.” The kind of research she is conducting could start to provide an understanding of

COVER STORY

Long Island Museum adds prominent silver artist’s work to permanent collection

BY HEIDI SUTTON

t 80 years young, it is an exciting time for the Long Island Museum. With a collection of mostly 19th- and early to mid-20th-century art and artifacts, the museum has recently turned its attention to building on its small but growing selection of contemporary art. Enter internationally acclaimed silver artist Michael Izrael Galmer whose career includes collaborations with Tiffany & Co., Gorham and Lenox, as well as creating his own designs that have been exhibited at museums including the Cooper Hewitt, Renwick Gallery and Newark Museum of Art. Galmer, who emigrated to the United States from the former Soviet Union in 1981, specializes in sculpture, jewelry and decorative pieces carved in silver using repoussé, a technique in which metals are shaped and adorned by hammering and pressing the reverse side of the piece. He then decorates the front of the piece using a technique called chasing or engraving. In addition to enjoying a challenge, the artist, who works out of his studio in Queens, chose to work with silver “because it is identified with both a sense of fineness and the idea of tradition. Of quality, there is no more beautiful material to see, touch or feel.” Examples of Galmer’s work were first viewed at the museum last fall as part of the Shaping Silver: Contemporary Metalsmithing exhibit. The artist then decided to donate two of the handcrafted pieces, a silver pitcher titled “Hops Blossom Pitcher” and a 41-inch tall silver sculpture titled “Lust for Life,” to the museum’s permanent collection.

‘We have grown to be able to include contemporary art and the future is boundless for us.’ — JOSHUA RUFF CHIEF CURATOR AT THE LIM A special unveiling and reception was held at the museum’s Visitors Center on April 11. The event was attended by Galmer’s family, friends and the museum’s staff and board. “Wow, it looks better than in my studio!” exclaimed Galmer as he viewed the display. “I want to thank all the members of this wonderful institution who gave me a chance to share my artwork with all the future visitors to this museum. I am so honored.” Both inspired by nature, the handcrafted pieces are stunning. The pitcher, designed

in the classical style, is adorned with delicate flowers. “My goal was to create something that, when displayed on a table, makes you feel like a garden is all around you,” Galmer explained. “Lust for Life,” which the artist calls “a speaking sculpture,” depicts a large stone with a small seed that has sprouted underneath and, finding the tiniest cracks in the rock, breaks free, grows strong branches and, as a grand finale, blooms. It is based on the philosophy that good things can come from even the direst circumstances. “It’s talking, it wants to say something,” said an emotional Galmer in describing this piece. “Life is full of ups and downs. I want to encourage people to never give up … I want them to be strong. I survived, I came here with nothing, and I made something of myself for my family, my community, for America. To be successful you have to be strong, you have

to fight. Never give up, ever. Try, try and you will always find an exit from a bad situation. It is important to remain optimistic.” Both pieces will be prominently displayed in the Visitors Center through 2019. “The museum is so pleased with this significant gift,” said Neil Watson, executive director of the LIM, after the unveiling. “For the most part, a museum is built over time. This is our 80th anniversary and it started with the generosity of Ward and Dorothy Melville … and how these collections grow is through that generosity and it all comes back to the makers. What Michael has given to us here is so beautiful … our collection is better for this and now we can go in a new direction.” Joshua Ruff, chief curator at the museum, agreed. “Michael Izrael Galmer has gone through journeys in his life. The Long Island Museum is going through a journey right now.

We have, in our 80 years, changed our name on numerous occasions. We were once the Suffolk Museum. We were once a small collection of natural history items and carriages and William Sidney Mount paintings and we have grown to be able to include contemporary art and the future is boundless for us.” “We’re looking to, in the next 5, 10, 15 years down the road, really growing on what we are but [also] growing in new directions and making this place successful going into the next 80 years and beyond,” he added. The Long Island Museum, located at 1200 Route 25A, Stony Brook is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 adults, $7 seniors and $5 for students ages 6 to 17.

Vanderbilt’s Lance Reinheimer to be honored

The Public Relations Professionals of Long Island (PRPLI) will honor Lance Reinheimer, executive director of the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum, at its 29th annual awards dinner on May 8, at Westbury Manor in Westbury. Reinheimer will receive the Long Island Achievement Award for communications. Reinheimer, who has held his current post for more than eight years, has maintained an active, lifelong commitment to community service. Continuing that commitment at the Vanderbilt, he instituted special, free museum events for families of ﬁrst responders, active military personnel and veterans, children with special needs and for students in high-needs school districts. His background in budgeting, accounting and ﬁnance helped pave the way for the museum’s now-strong balance sheet. “This award recognizes the success Above, Lance Reinheimer with a portrait of William that the staff and trustees have had in communicating the cultural and historiK.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Having the Conversation: Talking to Your Parent about Assisted Living As we get older, many of us are cast in the role of caretaker to a parent or other aging loved one. Whether they need a little or a lot of help, there may come a time that moving to an assisted living community is considered, a concept that has the potential to make everyone uncomfortable. But why is it so difficult to talk about? Acknowledging that a parent needs more help can be very emotional for an adult child. Many see their parents as they always were: The caregiving, nurturing and independent adults they instinctively turned to. This makes the perceived role reversal confusing and difficult to negotiate. But there are ways to ease the conversation so that both you and your parents can come to the right decision together, without your parents feeling as though they are being sent to a facility to live out their remaining years and without you feeling like you have let them down.

First, we need to address the misconception that assisted living is the same as a nursing home. It isn’t. Assisted living communities offer freedom from daily chores and worries, daily activities, socialization and meals, along with some support if the resident should need it. They include apartment-style living, and, for example, at Gurwin’s Assisted Living community, residents enjoy the privacy and independence that having a full apartment brings, along with the socialization and support that is vital to their physical, emotional and spiritual health.

Gurwin Assisted Living is more than comfortable, full apartments, a tight-knit community, and daily activities . . . it’s home.

The best course of action, after everyone is informed, is to try to have the conversation before a time of crisis. This will avoid pressure and allow time to adjust to the idea and promote a healthier, more active role for everyone in the process. Include your siblings if you have any – this will help to avoid conflicts while promoting a supportive atmosphere for a difficult decision. When you do talk, speak in private, and listen to your elder. Only by understanding someone’s feelings can we help them to be open to the advantages any change can bring. By allowing them to express their fears and concerns, you can ultimately work through them, largely by dispelling myths and exploring the ways in which many problems are solved (no more cooking, cleaning, yard work, maintenance). Remember to choose your words carefully – and show enthusiasm about helping them move into their new home. By addressing any misconceptions and fears up front, often the parents are not only agreeable to making the move, but also excited about starting a new chapter in their lives. They understand that they are gaining so much and losing very little. By discussing the options often and early, you can avoid hurt feelings at a time when emotions might be running high. ©161995

Moloney Family Funeral Homes began its commitment to the Port Jefferson community over 75 years ago. F. Daniel Moloney Sr. built the family funeral business, and to honor his legacy, the Moloney family pledges to provide the best service and care to the families and communities it serves. Peter Moloney (co-owner) expressed his passion, saying “I enjoy helping families at the most difficult time.” “The fact that I get to help people with their troubles and make things a little easier is very rewarding.” That brought a smile to his face. Much has changed with Moloney Funeral Home over the years, apart from its promise to you. They have since grown and expanded with five funeral homes, a crematory, a memorial tribute center and a limousine service. They go the extra mile providing options not easily found elsewhere, like team member Kota, the first certified grief therapy dog in the area. He’s trained to detect human emotions and put people at ease. Kota’s presence is one more way they make a difference for families. Moloney Family Funeral Home takes pride in providing families with personal attention while offering extra support before, during, and after the funeral. They take special care to respect your family’s wishes and budget by offering unique personalized services and options. They believe in the core value of honoring each person’s life and want your tribute to your loved one to reflect their life in a way that is meaningful to you and your family. Moloney Funeral Home knows that this can be a difficult time in your life and to help make it easier, staff is available 24 hours a day when you need them most.

11 Neurological Surgery, P.C., Physicians Named to 2018 Castle Connolly List ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY (April 3, 2019) Eleven of the 23 physicians associated with Neurological Surgery, P.C. (NSPC) have been named to the latest edition of Top Doctors: New York Metro Area, an annual reference guide published by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a New York City research and information company. The NSPC Castle Connolly “Top Doctors” are: Jeffrey A. Brown, M.D. (Neuropathic Facial Pain), Jonathan L. Brisman, M.D. (Neurovascular Neurosurgery), Benjamin R.

Kula, M.D. (Chiari Neurology), Sundeep Mangla, M.D. (Endovascular Neuroradiology), Stephen T. Onesti, M.D. (Spine Surgery), John Pile-Spellman, M.D. (Endovascular Neuroradiology), Brian J. Snyder, M.D. (Pain & Parkinson’s Surgery), and Lee Tessler, M.D. (Brain Surgery). “It’s a pleasure to congratulate our colleagues and partners for receiving this honor,” said Michael H. Brisman, M.D., the chief executive officer of Rockville Centre, NY-based NSPC. “Our practice has provided patients from Long Island, and elsewhere, with the most compassionate and comprehensive brain, back, and neck care available for over 60 years. The selection of these eleven physicians to the 2018 Top Doctors: New York Metro Area confirms a tradition of clinical, and patient-centered excellence, at NSPC.” For decades, Castle Connolly has been conducting a peer-review survey to select the region’s top doctors based on the theory that medical professionals are best qualified to assess the qualifications of other practitioners. Licensed physicians vote online for those doctors they consider outstanding. A Castle Connolly doctor-led research team then counts the nominations and vets the nominee pool with the aid of a number of screens, including confirming board certifications and investigating disciplinary histories.

The firm’s Top Doctors: New York Metro Area guide lists those whom Castle Connolly has determined to be in the top ten percent of the region’s physicians – approximately 6,000 in all.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS When a family is in the process of welcoming a new baby, there are many things to do in preparation – decorating the nursery, buying baby-related necessities, etc. Two things that don’t need to be added to that voluminous list – finding a top-notch, local obstetrician and a world-class facility to deliver your newborn. Huntington Hospital’s Center for Mothers and Babies has 19 private rooms with en suite bathrooms complete with showers and a comfortable sleeper sofa for the significant other to rest in while caring for and bonding with his/her new family. The new layout, which features a 26-bassinet nursery at the center, was designed to optimize couplet care – the newborn rooming in with the mother throughout their hospital stay and having the same nurse care for both mother and baby. Huntington Hospital also has a Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Mothers and their families will also have opportunities to work with and learn from the Center for Mothers and Babies’ bilingual lactation consultant. In addition to the renovated space, mothers are treated to a plush, spa-like robe and a celebratory filet mignon and lobster tail dinner with their significant other. Northwell Health Obstetricians Mitchell Kramer, MD, chairman of the hospital’s ob/gyn department; Ted Goldman, MD, chief of gynecologic surgery at Huntington Hospital; Gianni Ayala-Rodriguez, MD; and Felicia Callan, MD, care for expectant mothers at offices located in Huntington, Commack and Smithtown and deliver babies at Huntington Hospital. In addition, Huntington Hospital has four midwives

The No. 17 Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team gave its eight seniors something to celebrate about, topping Binghamton at LaValle Stadium, 20-4, on Friday night on Senior Day. The victory marked the team’s seventh in a row and moves the Seawolves to 6-0 in America East play. “Senior Day is an emotional day so there’s a lot of moving parts with the lineup being different and honoring your seniors and the seniors coming to the reality that it’s the last home game of the regular season and that they don’t have too much time left as far as being a college athlete,” said head coach Joe Spallina. “We always try to funnel the emotion. I loved the way we responded to the emotion of Senior Day. We came out and were very business-like and we continued the momentum that we’ve had during our winning streak,” he added.

Stony Brook headed into the locker room with a 15-1 lead and didn’t look back en route to the 16-goal victory. Taryn Ohlmiller (Islip) led the offensive attack with seven points from four goals and three assists. Ally Kennedy (North Babylon) was once again big on the offensive attack, recording all of her five goals in the first half as well as an assist. Kasey Mitchell (Port Jefferson Station) was a standout on her special day, recording a career-high five points from a hat trick and two helpers. All three of her scores came from the free position. Nicole Bifulco (Huntington) also had a Senior Day to remember, scoring on both shots she took to earn a pair of goals. Keri McCarthy (Hauppauge) also got in on the scoring with her fellow seniors, putting in a highlight-worthy behind-the-back shot in the first half.

Goals also came from Siobhan Rafferty (Long Beach) (2), Rayna Sabella (Mount Sinai), Sarah Pulis (Baldwin) and Nicole Rizzo (Syosset). Goalkeeper Anna Tesoriero (Huntington) got the win in net after recording two saves. Gabrielle Cacciola (Wading River) made a save in the second half. Kennedy has scored in all 15 games this season and Rafferty has notched at least one point in each contest. Ohlmiller has now moved up to No. 4 in program history in career points (252) and Kennedy is eighth with 189. Mackenzie Burns (West Sayville) led the team in ground balls (4) and also had five draw controls along with McCarthy and Kennedy. Stony Brook is 16-1 all-time against Binghamton, winning its last nine matchups. The team was Penn State bound, meeting with the Nittany Lions on Tuesday. Results were not available as of press time.

Seawolves split doubleheader with Lehigh

BETHLEHEM, PA.: The women’s softball team split a doubleheader with Lehigh on April 20. The team dropped game one by a score of 2-1, but took game two 3-0. Shelbi Denman (Las Vegas, Nev.) had a strong performance in the circle in game two, giving up no runs while striking out three. Jourdin Hering (Federal Way, Wash.) paced the offense

in the game two win with a big two-run single in the ﬁfth to extend the lead to three. “It was good to see us respond and be resilient after game one to step up and play well in all three facets of our game in game two. Shelbi gave us a great effort in the circle and Katelyn played a tremendous CF today,” said head coach Megan Bryant.

The Stony Brook men’s and women’s four rowing teams took first place in their heats at the 21st Annual Busfield Regatta at the Hiawatha Island Boat Club in upstate Owego on April 13. The women’s varsity 4 led from the start of their 2000-meter heat, finishing with a time of 7:53, well ahead of second place finisher Susquehanna, 8:17, and third place Binghamton B, 8:26. Teams racing in the second and third heats had times slower than these top three, resulting in the Stony Brook women having the fastest time in the field. The team, Elizabeth Varghese, Emily Costa, Loriana Demirciyan and Kate Aufort, was coxed by Brianna Isola, racing in the alumni-donated boat The Paul J. Dudzick. In the first heat of the men’s varsity 4, Stony Brook A, (Gary Grant, Sampson Berlinski, Jonathan Krog, Vincent Paladino, coxed by Aliza Tang), came in

first in their heat, with a time of 7:27, ahead of Binghamton A, 7:45, and third place Oswego, 8:51. In the second heat, Stony Brook B, (Matthew Sharp, Anthony Campione, Jakub Wlodek, Yiming Zhong, coxed by Hayley Maltese), came in second with a time of 7:58, behind first-place Clarkson, 7:19. Overall, the A team was tied with Skidmore for the third fastest time in the field, trailing Clarkson, 7:19, and Maryland, 7:22. The event was hosted by the Binghamton University Rowing Club and officiated by USRowing referees and attracted eight East Coast schools.

Men’s baseball takes down UAlbany to win series The men’s baseball team scored two in the second and four in the fourth to take down UAlbany 7-4 on April 20 to win the series between the SUNY rivals and keep the Seawolves in first in the America East. Junior Chris Hamilton (Schenectady) went a perfect 3-for-3 and freshman Brad Hispley (Saratoga Springs) added a two-hit day to aid the Seawolves at the plate. Redshirt junior Aaron Glickstein (Dix Hills) went three and a third for the save, his first of the season. “It feels great with the rivalry as well as keeping ourselves in a position to stay on top of the conference, especially with a tough stretch of conference weekends coming up. I’m proud of our guys and am really excited to win the series against one of our longer rivals,” said head coach Matt Senk. The team had a pair of midweek contests ahead, facing New York City foe St. John’s on Tuesday before welcoming Fairfield to Joe Nathan Field on Wednesday. Results were not available at press time.

ATTORNEY AT LAW

Steps to create an estate plan

The best way to manage your own affairs while you are alive and to provide properly for your beneficiaries at your death is to have an estate plan. There is a distinction between having a “plan” and having documents. The close attention to detail, knowledge of the law and past BY NANCY BURNER, ESQ. experiences of the attorney you are dealing with should help you create the plan that fits your own circumstances. The first step of the process is to gather a comprehensive list of your assets. Since everything in the plan is different depending on the personal circumstances, it is important for the attorney advising you to know what type of assets you have and in what quantity. An individual with a home worth $400,000 may require a very different plan than an individual with the same amount of assets that are held in cash or retirement accounts. Once you have your list of assets together, you can review it with the attorney and discuss the goals of the representation. For many clients, the primary goal is to make sure they are taken care of during their own lifetime with the maximum amount of control over their assets without concern for what happens upon their death, while others may have concern for those they wish to benefit at their death. Take the single mother with a disabled child; while she is concerned about her own well-being, she would likely consider the well-being of her child to be equally as important. By contrast, a single person with no children will have different

concerns and, therefore, a different estate plan. Discussing your goals with an attorney is the greatest value the attorney can provide. Estate planning attorneys are more than just document drafters. They are advisers. With your attorney, you should be running through the different scenarios that may occur at the time of your death and making sure that you are satisfied with the outcome of each based on the plan you decide to create. The estate planning attorney can flag for you other issues that may be of concern. Depending on your age, income and assets, it may be prudent to discuss long-term care insurance or asset protection planning for Medicaid purposes. You can discuss whether or not your beneficiaries will need a trust for any reason, including creditor protection, protection of government benefits or protection from themselves if they overspend and undersave. After you have discussed your assets and goals with the attorney, they can recommend options for you. Often, there is more than one option available. A description of the pros and cons of each plan and the cost to you should help you determine what is best in your circumstance. This is the point at which the documents can be created in draft form. If you are satisfied with the documents as written, they will then be signed with the attorney. Each document will have its own signing requirements for validity that will include the presence of witnesses and/or a notary public. If you have never created an estate plan or have not reviewed it in the last five years, you should reach out to an attorney to start the process.

For other sweet scone variations substitute one of the following for the currants: Raisins, chopped dried cranberries, cherries, apricots, strawberries, blueberries, mini chocolate chips, chopped pecans or walnuts or 1 tablespoon lemon or orange zest For savory scones, omit the vanilla extract and ﬁnal 2 tablespoons sugar, reduce the 1/3 cup sugar to 2 tablespoons and add one of the following: 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup chopped fresh basil or 2 tablespoons dried, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried, 1½ cups chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed) or 2 tablespoons freshly ground coarse black pepper. Serve with butter or extra virgin olive oil.

• 2 large eggs • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract • 2/3 cup light cream • 2 teaspoons milk • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar DIRECTIONS:

BY BARBARA BELTRAMI

Our British legacy, along with our language and customs, includes scones. At lunch the other day my friends and I ordered scones for dessert and I was reminded of just how good they can be with clotted cream and raspberry jam or even with butter or olive oil, if they’re savory rather than sweet. With our pinkies well extended we sipped tea and got caught up on each other’s lives and felt very civilized. Always the purist, I ordered the traditional scone with raisins. My more adventurous companions opted for the less conventional versions, and we all had a wonderful tea party.

In a large bowl thoroughly combine the ﬂour, sugar, salt and baking powder. With a pastry blender or fork, mash in the butter until mixture has a lumpy-crumbly texture; stir in currants. In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, vanilla and cream; then stir into the dry mixture until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle a little ﬂour over an ungreased baking sheet. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a 6-inch round disc that is about ¾ inch high. Brush each disc with a teaspoon of milk, then sprinkle with the two tablespoons granulated sugar. Carefully and gently cut each disc into 6 wedges and pull the wedges away from the center so that they are barely separated, not touching. Place, uncovered, in freezer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425

BOOK REVIEW

‘Daphne’s Web’ By L.L. Cartin

Romance Novel

Reviewed by Kevin Redding

ver since she was a young girl, L.L. Cartin has dreamed of living in a haunted, three-story Victorian house. The specificity and macabre nature of her ideal living arrangement was perhaps shaped by early family trips from West Hempstead to the North Shore for realtor-guided roams through abandoned waterfront mansions. She recalls walking down the long hallways and into empty rooms and being suddenly overcome with lingering feelings from former owners. She could feel parties and celebration, fights and anger and sadness in the child’s bedroom. “I think it was the beginning of awakening that side of me,” recalled Cartin, a former instructor at St. Joseph’s College who is ordained in metaphysical studies and for many years has taught the subject from inside her gothic-style, 1890s-built, Victorian home in Port Jefferson. “I was always very intuitive and never really shut that part of me down.” Her house, which she moved into in the early 2000s, is filled with paranormal entities and has been the site of a few major investigations from local professional ghost-hunting groups. “My very first night here was a very strange and frightening experience — I ran out of this house so fast I didn’t even know my legs could move that fast,” she says with a laugh, speaking of her ghostly visitors with the calm, matter-of-fact tone one might use to talk about a leaky faucet. But for Cartin, the supernatural energy that fills her home is not only the basis of her teachings and studies, it’s also the inspiration behind her first published book, entitled “Daphne’s Web,” a “paranormal romance” fiction from Divertir Publishing.

Tell us about the plot of the book.

A woman raises her two young children in the house, but the actual story takes place once the children grow up and move out. Once the woman is alone in this house, she is met with some kind of being, a male energy she has no control over. He can foist his will upon her and she can do nothing about it. This ghost has an agenda and he has to weave through her and more people to accomplish his agenda. The various characters center around a school, which is not too terribly far-fetched from how I use the house and how the house is haunted. So that’s the melding of the history of the house, the energy in the house, the work that I do — which is metaphysical, and my passion for writing. I’ve always loved writing, so it all came together like that.

Above, author L.L. Cartin; right, the cover jacket of her book

What prompted you to want to write it?

During classes I was holding at the house we were seeing paranormal activity. It became fascinating enough to actually write about. The ultimate purpose of the book is for us to see ourselves in some of the characters’ behaviors and realize we can change. The intention was that this “Law of Attraction” information, this metaphysical information, is so powerful and so peaceful and helpful — how do we get more people to study this? So I said, let’s put it in parable. Let’s make a story. Then we ended up getting two paranormal companies, Babylon Paranormal and Katonah Paranormal, at the house to document things. Not only were things found related to the previous people who lived here, but they were validating content that was already written in the story.

Who is the best audience for this book?

I do think it’s very good for young adults because it’s a very clean book. I think on Twitter it’s called a “clean romance.” The setting is in the 1960s so there are no cellphones, no computers … From what I read of people’s comments, young people sometimes want a break from the fast-paced, in-your-face technology world and many have even said they love the music and books of the 1950s and 1960s. If they can escape this current world, teleport for a little while, through this book, they can go back to a gentler time.

What do your metaphysics students think of the book?

They’re enjoying it and relate to the imagery in the house, and are certainly aware of the teachings. By studying metaphysical science, I have made myself a better person. And I’m so

much happier and have more peace, and my desire to share that is so strong. So how do I share it? I have classes here. Anyone is welcome, but on any given night, there’s just a handful of people. I don’t advertise, it’s just word of mouth; they’ve been coming for 20 years to these classes, but I wanted to reach a bigger population. I’m hoping the book will help. I hope to start speaking and doing readings in local libraries. My goal is to bring this wisdom, the universal wisdom, outside of the four walls of my house and into a larger community.

Did you encounter any paranormal interferences during your writing process?

The previous owner was deceased from the time we purchased the house and I kept getting mail from him and kept going to the post office and telling them this person was deceased. Long deceased. But I kept getting their mail. It didn’t just come at a regular basis, it came at a random basis, and it came with strange

messages on the envelope like “WATCH FOR MARCH 21st” and, lo and behold, on or around those specific dates, I would get a call from the publisher or got the book with corrections needed. We were being led to just keep going. I thought that was very paranormal. And since it was published, I haven’t gotten a thing. In my heart of hearts, I feel that the energy in my house did have unfinished business. That’s what the book is about. The ghost began to use the live beings living in the house to finish his business, which he does complete in this book. And I felt like the previous owner of my house must’ve had some unfinished business in some nature and that in a way I was being used to write this. I felt very inspired throughout the whole time. ‘Daphne’s Web’ by L.L. Cartin is available online at Amazon, Kindle, Barnes and Noble and Book Depository.
